Tottenham Hotspur head into this evening’s game against AEL in a good position having won the first leg 2-1.

Goals from strikers Roberto Soldado and Harry Kane were enough to give Mauricio Pochettino’s men a healthy advantage and crucial away goals in what should be an exciting night at White Hart Lane.

Spurs have assembled a squad which is capable of competing in the Europa League and the side have extra incentive to win the competition.

The team that wins the tournament this season will automatically be given a spot in the Champions League for the 2015/2016 campaign, which would take the pressure away from Tottenham to finish in the top four.
